1 PRESS RELEASE Paper, cardboard and plastic products that talk! CAPID Tokens consortium plans to develop technology that could bring wireless communication to millions of everyday objects Six companies Cartamundi, Cartamundi Digital, imec, TNO, Simply-X and Rebased from four different EU countries have joined forces in a new consortium that aims to extend wireless communication to thousands perhaps millions of everyday objects. The CAPID Capacitive Identification Tokens consortium will develop, over the next three years, a new generation of wireless tags. CAPID tokens will be thin, lightweight and use flexible electronics; this means they can be embedded in printed paper or plastic products. The tags will send a dynamic capacitive signal a type of electronic sensing process to reading devices. CAPID technology will enable the manufacturing of smart products at very low cost and in high volumes. These products will be able to connect to the Internet, simply by being placed on a touchscreen. The potential applications for this technology are many and varied, from board games to entrance tickets and payment systems. More advanced CAPID tokens could even allow twoway communication with touchscreens by using photo sensors inside cards.

2 Every CAPID token will have its own unique identification code. These codes will be more secure than short-range electronic reading technologies like QR (which can be copied) or NFC (which can be read from distance), and they will be able to detect the exact position and orientation of objects on a touchscreen. The CAPID consortium is inspired and supported by the European Horizon 2020 programme. The members of the CAPID consortium are drawn from the worlds of electronics, games, printing, payment, ticketing and technology innovation. They will establish a complete supply chain to embed CAPID tokens into paper, cardboard and plastic components, bringing thin film electronics technology to a whole new level. Within the consortium imec will focus on chip design and technology. TNO will work on mass manufacturing processes for the tokens. Rebased, simply-x and Cartamundi Digital will work on demonstrators within their market expertise in payment, ticketing and game boards. Cartamundi will integrate CAPID tokens into physical products and is coordinator of the consortium. This is an important step in the realisation of potentially one of the most exciting technological developments of the 21 st century to date the Internet of Things: objects that can collect and exchange data. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No About Cartamundi Cartamundi is Latin for Cards for the World.
